First-ever domestic CD issue of the group’s in-demand second album, featuring "Ride Captain Ride"

When Blues Image launched into their 1970 chart smash, "Ride Captain Ride," the smoking lamp was always lit. But, with their subtle use of Latin Rhythms—featuring tantalizing fretboard work by Mike Pinera and the addictive conga drums of Joe Lala—this Tampa, Fla. combo proved themselves anything but a one hit wonder on their out of nowhere classic, Open.
